Description

Hello, I am currently setting up an open-rmf environment.
I would like to ask if there is any feature that allows robots to move between floors without using a lift.

It seems that the system automatically relies on the lift mechanism for inter-floor movement.
However, in my case, I would like to enable floor transitions using something else — for example, an escalator, or even a direct change in the robot’s z-axis position (instant movement).

If such functionality exists, could you please let me know how it can be controlled or implemented?
